    Just solder it back together?

    Your pic doesnt obviously show what the issue is, I assume all the unplugged wires arnt what you are talking about but possibly what looks like one of the soleniods has a wire snapped next to it?
  • FreekFreek Wagonist
    Yes just not 100%to sure I will be able to

    Just put a little solder on each exposed wire then hold them together (can use cloths pegs and a bit of wire to make a little jig if you need) that should help hold them together when you solder

    Can always get a piece of the same gauge wire and just extend it also if you think it is too short.
  • FreekFreek Wagonist
    Gonna try to extend it to be safe. Another question I pulled autort swap out putting a z6 back in with the trans. Can I use a a6 intake mani on the z6 head and be ok with out wiring vtec for now

    One: to solder correctly heat one wire up, then place solder on the opposite side of the wire til it bonds, then place the other wire on the solder and heat the wire til it bonds to the solder. You want to use as little solder as possible.

    No disrespect NZ-DB8R :D .

    Two: The Z6 intake mani is flows way better than the A6, I believe there is a way to use the Z6 w/o wiring up the Vtec. I would look on dseries.org, it's been covered a million times over there.

    This is a quote from Transzex who knows his ish around a d-series motor,"engine will be choked after 6000 rpms without VTEC working, but it will run normally to get you going for now". Sorry I don't have any details.

    to make life easier with soldering, go to harbor and get some helping hands. like $5 there. its a stand with clips to hold wires for you so you dont burn your fingers or glob solder everywhere. always comes in handy.

    None taken I just use that method when its a little awkward to get at ;) Its such a low current draw in this application that it doesnt really matter how you solder it.

    But yes the method you describe would be better

    hmm....I solder differently

    I split the wires and twist together (like a braid) the i place a small amount of solder on the iron and place the iron on the bottom of the wires. I then place solder on the top of the wires and within a split second the solder is pulled down into both wires filling up the empty spaces. This is the best method that i have used in joining two wires together.
